twenty four hour global news live from moscow this is with me. welcome to the program. russia has strongly condemned north korea for carrying out an underground nuclear test. threatens more measures in response to what it calls quote outrageous u.s. hostility the initial test has drawn a chorus of international criticism with the u.n. security council set to stage an emergency meeting. well very strong words from foreign minister sergei lavrov in terms of north korea and this test of a miniature on its nuclear device underground saying that the u.n. security council needs to react immediately we reduced the well i would like to stress that north korea's nuclear test deserves condemnation still we hold the move will not be used as a pretext to build up a military presence around the princes must we believe that flexing military muscles in the region is extremely dangerous we are expecting an emergency meeting

this tuesday concerning this of course at the same time sergey lavrov talks about the need for diplomacy and dialogue and the need to be cautious in terms of how you deal with north korea saying that there is no way in the balance or any kind of tension in the region escalate because of this so a warning really to the international community as well that we need to be careful but we also need to give a very very serious response to north korea will be reporting from new york of course when this meeting takes place later today on this reaction as north korea says this is only the beginning this test that took place underground the third test since two thousand and six is just the first step according to north korea in response to the u.s. what they call outrageous hostility they are promising a second and third step so the international community is really watching this this might be the test that makes the international community wake up and maybe say with

russia's help russia of course has been talking about this for years that it's not threats that works it's talking it's working through it this might be the the event that takes the international community through it perhaps there will be a breakthrough certainly there are different ways that we're seeing the world approach this let's not forget that this is seen as a direct message from the new leader kim jong un to president obama he is expected to deliver his state of the union and surely he will respond most likely with again more sanctions more isolation and what russia is saying. one with some of the other partners says that yes we need to react strongly but is it ok now if north korea is really building up its nuclear capabilities to treat them the way we do is isolation and thanks and the way to go and that's exactly what i think certainly behind closed doors what we can assume will be on the table at the u.n. security council today. marty is innocent are we there with the latest on north korea's nuclear test and we also got a timeline to keep you up to date on all the latest reactions and developments on

that issue just to find it on our website at www dot com well for the meanwhile specialist tim bill you think the foreign sanctions will do little of stem north korea's nuclear ambitions believing that only negotiations have a chance of working and don't know anyone living in the. really think so you know will. they say. in a tone that you think you will truly uncertain no country really changes the young the sanctions the or challenged it has to you billy bob has been required that was worse than the sanctions and that was the case. so north korea in the sense constrained if you could acquiesce to american muslims. but that in fact their eyes would be worse than what the americans can do to them and sanctions so they will review. their will first appear until the americans

until the negotiations over. whether that will happen because a lot of matter. well there are always interesting to get your opinions on. over on our website dot com right now we're asking whether north korea should indeed nuclear technology. thinking so far. the majority. should do nuclear tests to protect its national security just. what happened. second position thirty percent. flawed. ideology. nineteen percent. of people in north korea. asking for war just down to the bare minimum saying while they wish they had been left all.

your opinion here. you can always get involved with story as well from north korea now to iran iran has also now condemned the north korean nuclear test calling for all atomic weapons to be destroyed. stocks of material with the potential of becoming weaponized and with another round of talks just around the corner as well however a breakthrough may not come quickly enough. international. report on that just ahead.

joining us here on our to today egypt's opposition is turning more radical as protests become increasingly violent now because the movement of masked men calling themselves the black bloc is attracting yet more supporters it's threatening islamist authorities and sparking fears of a possible all out street war of course one of bell true is in cairo she tells us all about the group which has actually given our exclusive access to this mysterious group appeared around the second anniversary of generosity five evolution when they released this statement saying they would fight the mizzen brotherhood and they would strive for the goals of revolution around about that time we started seeing a young man in black but a car this according themselves said the black bloc and they were heading up the more militant side of the revolution we saw them making them on a tough sell my facebook pages they were giving instructions to the street fighting

it taking responsibility for a number of the acts of civil disobedience such as stopping public transport and also have said they were responsible for the burning of muslim brotherhood headquarters of some of them this of course is spock's much criticism from the authorities including the mr brotherhood and that the t.v. channels the prosecutor general intentional act of january i said they were terrorists carry on that they would be arrested if they were caught red handed our team managed to secure interviews with this members of the secret organization. the black bloc is an idea that came about as a reaction to the negligence of our peaceful demands and also as a reaction against the oppression of the interior ministry which receives orders from the regime we stand against the oppressive and tyrant regime we call upon the interior ministry to deliver justice for those who have been killed and we will continue our demands until they are met our actions are in self-defense we are protecting ourselves but have never attacked anyone we will always be present in

egypt even after or demands are met however we will take on a different form the aim behind our presence is to prevent injustice in any form. no one listens to our demands and the proof is the number of people who are being killed of course we had so much as to mock care the stepping down of the ouster of hosni mubarak this of course devolved into clashes last night by the presidential palace much take us was throwing up protesters he responded with molotov similar protests occurred around the country down south in the suit and now we have reports including egypt's second city in alexandria although the focus of the clashes was definitely as is most weeks by the presidential palace and indication that protesters attending to move violent means to push the regime to fill the demands and of course want to build true right now one of the new constitution of the black bloc is considered a volunteer group author and journalist ramsar group things to organizations like

this because the country at the end of the day is just polarized for the last two years egypt has not been allowed to have a strong central government that is keevil been pushing the political process fooled and thus the economy of the country the social cohesion and everything else as a result you have this huge vacuum and this polarization and that is allowing the egyptian society to be open for exploitation what has been happening is not exactly a popular of unified popular uproar against. rather a political polarization that has swept through the country for the last two years reaching the point of both sides justifying violence against one another and as it is you have this this increasing number of casualties some of it indeed due to police brutality and there is a possibility that in fact that the are outside those who are trying to further

fuel to the fire that is already. taking over egypt at least in the urban centers from cairo to boresight it's a phenomenon that i think resulted from the frustration disenfranchisement and just the general feeling of betrayal that the youth of egypt are feeling right now the issue is not the black bloc in particular but why would the even appeal to the youth of egypt in the first place unless there was that vacuum and there was that the need that was it created by the lack of sensuality and the lack of confidence in the political process in egypt with her coming from the government or from the so-called opposition. good to have you with us here on the program on out so you still to come for you shortly talk about a magnet for migrants. more than any other european country this according to the latest. it's a multicultural trend. the british are now becoming

for the drug shortage sanctions imposed by western countries in the republic they're not directly targeting the from a suitor call on medical sectors but they hate banks and the post trade restrictions. unfortunately many foreign companies stopped selling us drugs they're not allowed to have crude relations with iran and people predict price with their lives. iran's officials warn it may have an impact far beyond its borders. if we have a disease or pedantic and are unable to vaccinate the population it could spread easily to neighboring countries and the sector many even outside iraq. iran produces ninety six percent of its own medicine but the roma to rose for half of them come from abroad more than fifty vital medicines have disappeared the running

pharmacist international sanctions came in because the foreign in britain c m a from can no longer make their way into iran people with cancer and him ophelia wait often ended with bad news that their drug is not available their chances of survival are getting ever slimmer as sanctions hit patients instead of politicians officials estimate a total of six million iranian patients could be in danger because of the drug deficit in the vendor local and international media reported on the first death apparently caused by the shortage. fifteen year old boy who suffers from him ophelia couldn't get the medicine he desperately needed despite a friend to by his family and he died in hospital on. the west apply in new strategy now they tried sanctions on the military sector they realized we actually started making progress there but they wanted to weaken destabilize the country and the government is their aim this is why they now target

daughter column for many of the stories from all around the world just for a moment here let's have a quick look and see what's standing by for you there right now for example the deadly and mysterious coronavirus which sponsored global last september's back on the u.k. at a potentially fatal mutated infection has killed five people so far fears are that number is going to rise. also online for you and also you dog racist amusement park claims find out onto dot com white rabbit has led to disneyland facing allegations of bigotry those details on our website. for all from the world update for now though at the u.k. is the top destination for migrants in europe recent figures show around six hundred thousand came to live in britain in just one year it's a trend which worries many with demographic experts predicting white british people could be

a minority within just fifty years. reports from london where they are already living. it's what britain is known for a vibrant multicultural society and it looks like u.k. babies are testimony to it in east london seventy seven percent of new mums were born in britain nicoletta is from romania two thousand and seven i have been here when my husband together so. i'm doing to sit cine recently moved here from sri lanka i am very. glad to learn more dear. zahra has three children i was born in bangladesh could do to keisha good living standard of living so you prefer to live in. overseas between the years of two thousand and one and two thousand and eleven nearly four million immigrants came to the u.k. as part of an immigration boom under the former labor government at the time

westminster said that britain needed working migrants to propel the economy this is tower hamlets in east london a third of the residents here a bangladeshi in fact they outnumber the white brits in this area by two thousand people so if you want to just say that they're baffled at just how quickly the number of indigenous brits has diminished over the past decade there are a lot of genuinely decent people who do have. even the labor party has discovered recently that the vast majority of people is right those who would. naturally vote for the labor party have conserves about something that no government could be the leader of the opposition labor party recently admitted that his party got it wrong on immigration and. we were too quick to say.

the truth is the public were ahead of us in seeing some of the problems of migration because they were seeing them in their own communities poll after poll shows that the people living here are worried about the speed the size of the influx. for my opinion i don't think you. need more immigrants the moment. critics say the government is too frightened to address what person will look like in fifty years time it's going to look like. it's going to be a complete population change the indigenous population is shrinking anyway the younger generation and the younger generation is becoming increasingly radicalized and i think it's probably. twenty twenty five twenty. demographers say that if immigration continues on

a similar scale the white british population throughout the country will become a minority after twenty sixty six but with less than half of london is already describing themselves as white british some say that a quiet and irreversible revolution has already taken place in britain. at sea east london. barack obama is preparing for his big problem time speech on tuesday in state of the union address since we're lection its main focus will be domestic issues like economic recovery. immigration though foreign policy that will not be in the spotlight despite controversy over many issues including secret drone bombing campaigns human rights lawyer stanley cohen says these targeted assassinations ultimately translate to. we're not at war in pakistan we're not it war in yemen we're not at war in lebannon we're not in war in somalia if you want

to clear war if you want to follow international law if you want to make your case you play by the rules the fact of the matter is no matter what you call this it's murder it's assassination it's illegal we're talking about murdering civilians we're talking about attacks by drones in countries that are our allies if there were a person is there that we are want that are wanted american citizens yemenis citizens pakistanis citizens somali citizens for crimes here you go to the countries yeah extradite him you charge him you bring him to trial the united states under international law cannot must not and i didn't know stretch of the imagination is justified in the use of drones in the execution and the extrajudicial assassination of not just americans of anyone overseas for years we have charged people we have extradited people we've indicted people we've convicted many people charged with crimes of terrorism and it's worked before but this is an administration which is

a namrud with clean murder with clean killing that's what president obama likes and now we're just trying to clean it up further. art as promised into the that we go now head first into it starting with india or at least eleven people being killed off of police tribal groups angry at ongoing local elections in assam tribes men and women from surrounding villages descended on polling stations with swords the locals reject the government rule and say it undermines the rules of the villages. and syrian rebels are planning a major push to seize the strategic eastern city of de or elles where the big prize is the country's oil wealth the commander says the town is surrounded on all sides after government troops were forced from the area rebel forces have now also pushed all the units out of a key hydroelectric dam in one scene is a major setback for bashar al assad although the opposition has now offered to open

talks with the government to end the country's twenty two month old civil war. the french military assisted by local militias say they've regained control of mali's northern city of gal off the islamist militants launched a surprise attack on what is one of the country's most populous cities say three civilians were killed during this fighting from spain's it liberation campaign in the west african state is almost complete with insurgents pushed out of the cities towards the desert area near the algerian border. pope benedict says he will not interfere in choosing his successor after unexpectedly announcing his resignation on monday the eighty five year old is to quit at the end of the month citing old age making him the first head of the catholic church to step down in nearly six centuries and the director of the national secular society keith porteous wood says there must be more to this

official explanation. i think the dark trying to side has been an absolute catastrophe for the church it's actually lost. its authority in many parts of the world when you say that you're going to. oppose politicians trying to bring in say same sex marriage laws and you invest or your authority on that and then you looses if as effectively happened in those important catholic countries like spain portugal brazil. and about to happen indeed in england and scotland in france then you actually lose the your authority it's more than just losing the fight so that's been a catastrophe for the church and church attendance has declined it's an amazing rate and i think the child abuse scandal has been something that. benedict has never recovered from he's been involved in it personally through the

c.d.f. prefecture for twenty five years and in fact he's brought more into the vatican and tried to cover it up more and more and more so i think his his papacy will be seen as a major setback and a very bad papacy for the church and after a very short break here on r.t. if we learn how household garbage has become a vital lifeline for some young palestinians this isn't saying. much.
